VISSIM 5.30-05 User Manual

7 Simulation of Pedestrians
If the VISSIM installation includes the Pedestrians component, a set of
default data will be generated when the program session is started. This set
includes the following:
► Types of pedestrians (“men”, “women”)
► Classes of pedestrians (“people”)
► Compositions of flows of pedestrians (“pedestrians”).
Even if the VISSIM installation does not include Pedestrians, network data
can be read from any *.INP file. In this case, pedestrian traffic mode data
will be ignored.
7.1.2 Types of Pedestrians
7.1.2.1 Creating
Types of pedestrians can be defined and edited similar to vehicle types, cf.
section 5.3.1.
Click BASE DATA – PEDESTRIAN TYPES... to call the Pedestrian Types window:
The grid to the left contains the list of defined types of pedestrians. Rightclick
to open the context menu which offers the following commands:
● NEW creates a new type of pedestrians.
● DUPLICATE creates a new type with the properties of the selected type,
but a new number = 1 + maximum pedestrian type number in the current
network.
● DELETE removes the currently selected type.
